Nope - we always keep a copy of the original, and if we change anything we rebuild from the original.

The forum doesn't seem very happy attaching AVIFs it seems ( as 3rd party software it has its own entire image suite ) so I just removed all of that from my post. AVIF has almost as much support as .webp - so should render in your browser - https://caniuse.com/avif

We're still working on this, new images from the last few days are being served at wepb at 90% quality to make sure the quality is there. The problem with this is that the increase in bandwidth and cache this causes is around 10x what it costs at 75% quality. This also means that loading times are 10x longer! We've had an idea to try and use AVIF instead of webp, so we're just testing that out, and it's looking pretty promising for static images. We're looking at something like 75% quality on AVIF which is as good as, or better then, 90% quality at webp whilst also being smaller in file size. There's still some more testing to do, and we won't make any sweeping changes before the weekend.

Thanks for raising this, what has happened here is that whilst optimising another part of the website we found some configuration that wasn't what we expected - specifically that we had .webp quality on all images set to 90 when the .webp default is 75. This results in some very large images that do not give a good experience to the majority of users. We have updated that configuration and did some light touch testing on images and mod images to see what the effect was and we were struggling to see much difference so we deployed the change. Looking at the examples you've provided we can see that 75 is too aggressive when displaying the full images and we'll look at increasing this quality either back to the 90 that it was before or see what else we can do. I think it's highly likely that we'll be keeping all thumbnails on 75 quality as it's considerably faster for users to load the images. I'll report back here in a few days when we've made the change ( the configuration & testing isn't as simple as it sounds! ).

You're seeing 4.5MB/sec to a number of nodes - so that seems OK ? We've attempted to reroute traffic from the Philippines to a different CDN node for non premium users ( where this shouldn't be a problem ) - please let us know if you see any improvement.

It certainly sounds like there is something going on between your ISP and our file server. I have no idea what "waiting for api.permutive.com" is - that is nothing to do with us. Can you please provide the result of running "tracert files.nexusmods.com" in your terminal / command prompt ?
